Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
If these 26 reviews agree on a topic, it is the staff. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, cleanliness appears most often — 31% of the corpus, averaging 5.0.
The split is 16 positive to 0 negative across 16 rated reviews. A third strand, how much food arrives, appears in 23% of them at 5.0 stars.
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (100/100) with no violations cited. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. The visit behind that grade was April 1, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. Ranked against St. Lucie County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. The inspector left without citing anything — worth noting, since most visits find something.
Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

The Lucie Hotel completely won my heart. After my first stay (a solo getaway), I was so impressed that I came back a second time with my daughter within the same month, which says everything. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. Receiving a complimentary glass of champagne at check-in after a long drive was such a thoughtful touch. I also loved how easy it was to communicate with the staff through their text messaging service. They even reached out the day before my arrival to welcome me, and every question I had was answered quickly. Every staff member I encountered from the front desk and housekeeping to the manager was kind, friendly, and truly cared about making my stay special. My ocean-view room was absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the sound and view of the ocean was so peaceful. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soft sheets and pillows made it easy to relax. I also appreciated the mini gym, which had everything I needed for a quick workout. The food was another highlight! Breakfast was delicious, and the Tiki Bar served wonderful meals and drinks. Compliments to the chef at the time of my stay! Honestly, I never felt the need to leave the property because everything I needed was right there. It's rare to find a hotel that combines beautiful views, exceptional service, great food, and such a welcoming atmosphere. The Lucie Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way and made me feel like more than just a guest. I…

We had a great time staying at The Lucie in our oceanside room with 2 queen beds. The view was amazing and it was so easy to go from the pool to the beach. The staff was wonderful, especially Steve at the front desk, who went above and beyond for our family. We live locally and will be back for many more staycations.

Good ocean views.

We just had our 2nd Girls Trip at The Lucie and have already planned to return next year. The amenities are great (with the exception of having a small pool). And we love that there is a Pool Bar that serves amazing food! The Lucie is within walking distance to a few restaurants and the rooms are beautiful, having an extra large dorm-sized refrigerator. Highly recommend The Lucie!

Highly recommend coming to the Lucie! The rooms were clean and kept up with, everybody was nice, and you really can’t beat the beach. Visited during heavy sargassum season here in Florida yet it was so clean and had barely any seaweed at all, private beach access right outside the hotel rooms and the water was so clear. You can bring your own beach chairs and umbrellas and if not they offer them to rent. Lobby also had infused water all day and fresh cookies at 5PM. The tiki bar also had discounted happy hour drinks from 1-4PM everyday with $6 beers not bad at all. Overall super happy with our visit and we plan on coming back! :)

One of Florida’s best-kept secrets. Do yourself a favor and book the oceanfront room—the extra cost is worth every penny. Crack open the slider at night and let the sound of the waves put you to sleep. There’s no giant resort pool or destination restaurant here, but that’s not why you come. You come because you’re literally steps from a beautiful beach. Part of me doesn’t even want to post this review because I’d hate to see this place get discovered by everyone else.

Great location for a beach getaway

Very clean room and resort in general small pool but very clean and nice .staff very friendly and polite plenty of parking space free of charge will definitely recommend and will be back ..

This is a hidden gem! We have been coming for a number of years and they continue to make small, but noticeable improvements overall. On this last visit we saw that the pool tile had been updated to a beautiful blue hue! Staff and service are also excellent. Worth booking ocean front vs standard view. Not all have balconies, so check to make sure your room has one, though they are small, if you are not in a suite. Enjoy!

Great boutique hotel, reasonably priced for oceanfront and super comfortable rooms and great views. Loved the tiki bar by the pool and the staff, especially Joseph, were all amazing. Will be back for sure!

Highly recommend! Found this gem last minute traveling north back from Miami.

Steve is always fantastic. Fun, knowledgeable and helpful. Christian is a very thoughtful and helpful young man. Gina at the poolside bar has a wonderful wit, very skilled bar tender. I watched her when the bar was slammed and she just flowed with all of it and knocked it out. Drinks, food and still interacting with the people seated there before she got slammed. During that me and my wife grabbed a seat that just vacated and told her our drink details and she remembered it all even though she was already 4 couples deep in food and drink orders. She's a star!

Gina was the best!! She made our experience so much better, we will definitely be back to see her.

Very nice experience, I loved the drinks and experience here. Very welcoming and Gina was awesome behind the bar. I will be coming back

Excellent experience at the pool/beach/biking bar. So relaxing and the staff is exceptional. Gina met all of our needs and exceeded expectations. Thanks to the whole crew!

What’s great day out at the pool with Gina tending bar. Great service, great drinks and a wonderful hotel to stay at. Clean and accommodating!

Gina is my favorite bartender! She's the best and made our stay so enjoyable!!

Birthday trip and we had an amazing time. Staff was wonderful and resort was very nice. Views from the ocean rooms were spectacular.

We had such a great stay at The Lucie in Jensen Beach! As soon as we pulled up, my kids were so excited and thought the hotel looked really fancy. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, personable, and accommodating, which made us feel right at home. My kids loved all the little extras, especially the free cookies after 5, the amenities, and the elevators , especially the one where you can see outside. We stayed in a standard room with two beds and a balcony facing the ocean, and the kids absolutely loved being able to go back and forth between the room, beach, and pool. The pool was a huge hit too, especially right before dusk with the green and blue lights in the water. They thought it was the coolest thing! Even though it was a windy, cooler day, we still spent hours enjoying the beach and pool. It was very affordable and well within our budget, especially with the hotel being directly on the beach. The kids loved being able to see us down at the beach from the balcony. The rooms were beautiful, the staff was helpful, and overall it was a really great experience. My kids are already asking when we can come back!

We've been coming to the Lucie for a few years. It's only 1 1/2 hr up the road for us but we feel like we're in a totally different place. It's nice but not too big. You're right on the beach. You don't have to valet every time you go out. We bring some grandkids a lot and they love it. The staff is always great - Steve, Christina, Joey, Stephanie. It's a great getaway.

My spring stay at the Lucie Hotel was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The website perfectly captured its charm, and booking was seamless. Stephen made all the difference—attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely proud of his work. He greeted me personally, honored every request, and made me feel truly valued. The rooms were spotless, modern, and so comfortable. The hotel sits on a beautiful and quiet beach. I’ll definitely be back—thank you, Stephen, for an unforgettable experience!

Stayed on the 8th floor. Room was clean; beds comfortable. All bedding elements were clean and fresh. Great shower. Balcony view, even facing west, allowed for sounds of water and ocean views. Elevator works fast; interior of hotel is quite pretty. Champagne sipper at check-in, fresh chocolate chip cookies in the lobby at 5pm daily til they run out. Service was excellent across the board. Tiki bar drinks were fantastic; you can bring your drink to the beach. (Thanks Gina for all the recommendations!) Located near lots of shops and just a short drive to many food options. The Jensen Beach main street area is beautiful. Beautiful endless beaches, and good shelling especially at low tide. Would stay again. !!

I want to give a huge thank you to Steve and Joey at The Lucie for making this such a great experience from the very beginning. Joey was the first person I spoke with when booking my room, and he was absolutely outstanding. He was patient and extremely informative. I had several questions, and Joey answered every one of them without hesitation. He made the booking process smooth and easy, and that kind of customer service is hard to find these days. Now to Steve — I’ve dealt with Steve many times in the past, and he continues to impress me every single time. Steve is experienced, knowledgeable, welcoming, and always willing to help however he can. He carries himself with confidence and professionalism, but also treats people like family. One thing that always stands out is his smile and positive attitude. You can tell he genuinely LOVES what he does, and it shows in the way he treats guests. Steve is the kind of person who makes people want to come back again and again! I also want to recognize the housekeeping staff and everyone who maintains the rooms. It makes such a difference walking into a spotless, comfortable room and feeling completely relaxed during your stay. The entire staff works hard to make guests feel welcome and appreciated. This will definitely be the only oceanfront hotel I will ever book in all of Florida lol. The Lucie deserves so much praise for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication. They truly make every stay feel special. Also, THAT VIEW is…
